Editorial Comments.

Col. Roosevelt is pouring "hot stuff"

into the minds of the old world as he

hurries for America. He has a won-

derful storehouse of good sense, and

some ridiculous nonsense, especially

his "hobby" of large families. We do

not believe in placing, or referring to

the mother as a polific breeder, or the

father as a boar. There is altogether

too much printed and Bpoken upon

this sacred subject. In times gone by,

such events were spoken, or referred

to, with abated breath, and not liken-

ed unto the

creatures.

It is ridiculous.

Now that so much is being written

throughout the Nation relative to the

Ridgway's Big Fire.

Last Snturday morning about 1:15, fire of unknown origin, started in the llvde-Murphy plant at Ridgway and before the firemen could check the blaza it had completely consumed the big plant, spread across the street consuming several buildings in that section. As soon as the magnitude of the

fire was ascertained Du?ois, Johnson-

burg and St. Marys were wired to send aid, to which all responded. The fire

wiped out one of the principal industries of the town and cleaned out six of the business houses, destroyed several dwellings and buildings used as

department houses and did other damage. The estimate loss is about one

half million dollars with about half of

that amount covered by insurance. Fifty-two visiting firemen took breakfast at the Bogert, Saturday morning. These visitors rendered invaluable assistance during their stay there. Both the Pennsylvania and the B. R. & P.

R. Companies were of great aid to the town of Ridgway during the fire, by giving trains to carry the firemen and apparatus from Du?ois Johnson-

burg and St Marys. It is expected

that most of the burned buildings will be rebuilt at once.
